This has to go on a "Not As Salacious As It Sounds" list.
"For centuries, fishermen have had to study the lay of the ocean's floor and the skies. Nova Scotia fishermen used to look for what they called 'cherry bottom,' a type of red gravel floor favored by cod."
—Mark Kurlansky, Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World (New York: Penguin, 1997), 141
